I had more of an impact on the sister, I recommended a P99 9mm. She's into it enough to want to shoot it a lot, and take classes, etc..
Her friend mentioned his wife's recent purchase of a Ruger LCR - seemed like a good choice too.

The in-law used to be a hippie much like the one in the story (not accident prone though), but since 9-11 has evolved into more of a woman of the wilderness type.
